About: I've been a dog lover forever and got my first family dog when I was 12. I have since become his primary owner. Since 15, I've assisted my older brother with dog sitting through Rover, and by 17, I started caring for dogs on my own for family and friends. Whether watching them at their home or bringing them to mine, I provide reliable, loving care for your furry companions. I work part time from home as a writing tutor at CSUN, where I am also a full time student on campus Tuesday to Thursday. In my home, your pets will enjoy a safe, secure environment with a fenced back yard featuring sturdy gates and tall walls, ensuring they can roam freely and safely. The front yard is also fully enclosed with an electric gate for added security. If your dog is accustomed to crate training, I can accommodate that as long as a crate is provided. In addition, I also have a pool on the property. I ensure the pool area is safely monitored to prevent any accidents, and only dogs that are comfortable around water are allowed freely around it. I prioritize comfort, safety, and fun for every pet in my care!
About: I’ve been a pet owner and trusted caregiver for many years, helping friends and family care for their pets as if they were my own. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and am excited to provide loving, reliable care for your furry family members. As a teacher, I am responsible, dependable, and attentive to individual needs. I bring the same level of care and patience to every pet I look after. Since I’m currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I’m available throughout the week, including evenings and overnight stays, and I look forward to caring for pets of all kinds. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced side yard that provides a safe space for small to medium-sized dogs to explore, play, and relax. I will make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and right at home while they’re with me.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I bring to everything I do. I'm an active person who genuinely loves spending time outdoors, so taking dogs on fun, engaging walks is something I truly enjoy, not just a job. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and believe every dog deserves individualized care. Whether that means sticking to their usual walking routine, making sure they get plenty of exercise, or giving them extra patience and affection, I'll treat your dog as if they were my own. While I don't have professional dog training experience, I have cared for and trained my own puppy, which taught me the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and paying attention to a dog's unique personality and needs. I'm committed to providing a safe, reliable, and enjoyable experience so you can have peace of mind while your pup is in my care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my current routine. I have a flexible schedule and full availability throughout the week, which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to each dog I care for. I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so dog walking is something I look forward to every day. As I'm exploring my next career opportunity, I have the flexibility to provide dependable care, accommodate different schedules, and give each pet the attention they deserve. Whether it's a daily walk or a last-minute booking, I'm committed to being reliable, responsive, and making sure every dog has a safe, fun experience. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while respecting the routine they're used to. I know how important communication is, so I'll provide updates and photos after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is happy and in good hands. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own.
“Zoey did an amazing job taking care of my cat Waffles. Kept me up to date with any issues and took cute photos. Highly recommend Zoey and will be using them again in the future!”

About: My first pet was a pigeon that I basically raised since they was a little featherless peep. I also thought them to fly! I was 12 years old. Since then, I have worked as a professional pet sitter in Long Beach, CA with a small company (shout out Happy Tails to You) and for Wag! (another app). I have experience working with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I try to adjust to each pet's personalities. I also adjust to each pet parent's preference and do not mind reading and following your step-by-step instruction for taking care of your pet. I actually prefer a manual as there no one who knows your pet more than you! When I am not dog sitting, I am working with adults and kids with developmental disabilities as a behavior consultant. AND when I am not working, I am hanging out my two cats and dog! I am available early mornings (before 9am), afternoons (after 2pm), evenings, and weekends. I work a part-time job that is flexible with my schedule (I work on-site and remotely). When I am in your home, whatever instructions you provide, I will follow. The more details the better, as no one knows your pets more than you. I also try to work with your pet's personality and needs. I don't mind looking after pets with special needs or need extra care.

About: As the longtime caretaker of two senior pets — a 16.5-year-old dachshund and a 13-year-old cat — I’m very experienced with administering medications and providing attentive, patient care to animals with different medical and emotional needs. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and horses since childhood and have also volunteered with dog and cat shelters, as well as a wildlife rescue where I help care for a wide variety of animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet with the same level of care, caution, and affection that I give my own. I’m extremely detail-oriented and proactive — the type of person who researches breeds extensively and learns everything I can to make sure I’m providing the best possible care. If you’re looking for someone responsible, observant, compassionate, and genuinely devoted to animals, I would love to care for your pet. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care when you need it most. I’m available throughout the week and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing in the yard, sticking to their normal routine, or simply keeping them company at home. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medications, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets attentive and reliable care. I grew up with large dogs and have owned small dogs as an adult, so I understand that different breeds, sizes, and personalities all have unique needs. Safety is something I take very seriously, and I’m naturally very observant and cautious when caring for animals. Before sitting, I like to learn about your pet’s personality, routines, medical needs, behavioral quirks, comfort level with other people or animals, and of course their favorite treats and activities. I have a PhD in Biology and a very detail-oriented, scientifically minded approach, which means I tend to notice and think about things that others may overlook. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and confident in my care.
“Samantha is amazing! She was very patient and caring with my cat in gaining his trust. She sent prompt updates and photos on how he was doing along with updates on what his temperament was like each day. I would definitely request her services again when I am out of town.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was young, and over the past 10 years I’ve pet sat, house sat, and provided childcare for more than 10 different families. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, litter boxes, administering basic routines, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust while keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule and am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, playtime, feeding, a walk, or overnight care, I’m happy to work with your routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will do my best to accommodate their normal schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own, following your instructions closely and keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’ll provide regular photo and text updates, make sure doors and gates are secure, keep food and water fresh, clean litter boxes or pick up after walks, and give your pet plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while you’re away.

About: I have always been a big animal lover. My family had always had at least 2 dogs and cats in our household, so I grew up taking care of animals. I’m very reliable for sitting, potty breaks, medication,etc. I’ve pet sat for family and friends growing up. Currently not working, so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. Very flexible schedule. Looking to make take care of your beloved pets while you’re out of town! I always make sure that I respect my clients homes and animals as if they were my own.

“Celia is the best! She always takes such great care of our lil buddy! She keeps everything clean and makes sure to give cuddles too! When we leave town, we know our lil buddy is in good hands.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. At the age of 16 I got my very own dog with parental permission. I disciplined him, trained him, and raised him to be a reliable and comforting companion. I still do training with him at least 1-2 times a week. I care for the two other family dogs, one being older and the other being the middle child. The oldest—our old man—has difficulty walking sometimes and eating. I’ve learned to prep and adjust his meals to make it easier for him. I love training and try to be as consistent as possible. I am not a certified trainer—guilty of being self taught—however I know how to teach and enforce basic commands like sit, stay, etc. I love dogs, and cats too, and love every moment I get to spend with them. I’m currently a college sophomore, so my workload is very light and I’ll have plenty of time to hangout with your pets! I am available almost every weekday unless confirmed otherwise. Weekends I am very flexible, unless a prior arrangement has been spoken about before, and I am available from 9am to 6pm. I treat pets like my own children. I believe they need attention, love, and warmth. I love my dog like a son and my two other family dogs like my children as well. I feed all three of them, I bathe all three of them, I pick up messes whether it is an upset stomach to torn up toys or furniture, I take the youngest on walks as he’s the only one properly leash trained, and I give them as many cuddles as they ask for.

About: I have cared for many dogs and cats throughout the years, mostly for family and friends. I also have raised my own pets, with a very reactive pitbull that I trained myself. I'm good with reactive pets, shy pets, and pets with any special care needs. I'm currently taking care of pet and human babies exclusively so my schedule is very flexible. I can accommodate any care needs your pet may have. I will engage in plenty of play for high energy pets, including stimulating games for their minds. I also know great spots to take dogs exploring outdoors!
About: Neighbors, family and friends can always count on me for dog sitting with a simple food or water, attention, play time and lastly walks around the neighborhood I currently work part time and my job gives me a flexible schedule, so i have plenty of time! i’m available for walks around your neighborhood and even some play time at home My services includes me going to the clients house feeding, taking out to use the restroom, and engaging with the pet. Depending on the service I can check in multiple times a day and update the clients by sending pictures or videos. I also offer walking services for pets.

About: I love dogs and cats all my heart! I grew up with two dogs, but unfortunately had to give them away as I moved. While I don’t currently have any pets due to my apartment not allowing them, I understand their needs and have always been a quick learner that adapts to any situation. I frequently pet sit for friends and absolutely love being around them. I will make all of the time in the world to hang out with your pets! I know how important it is for them to feel loved and get the attention that they deserve. I will make sure that your pets are my number one priority. It’s important to me that they are given all of the attention in the world, and that they feel very loved and cared for.

About: My passion for pups began by caring for dogs of family and friends, into raising two silly, energetic, dachshund boys of my own! I know firsthand how hard it can be to leave your furry family members behind. This is why I treat every animal in my care with the same unconditional love, patience, and attention I would want someone to give my boys. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of every background and breed including tiny Chihuahuas, Yorkies, and Pugs to high-energy Boxers and German Shepherds. No matter their unique personality, I adapt quickly to what makes them feel happy and safe. When booking with me, you can count on Schedule & Routine Maintenance (e.g., following your exact schedule for meals, walks, medication, and playtime so your pup stays relaxed and happy), Warm and Clear Communication (e.g., sending regular updates, photos, and clear check-ins so you always know how your pup is doing), Cleanliness & Organization (e.g., keeping your home clean, tidy, and organized while managing your pup’s living areas and supplies, and Dependability & Trust (e.g., showing up on time, respecting your instructions, and providing consistent, dependable care you can count on every single time). Thank you for stopping by my profile! Feel free to message me with any questions or to set up a meet and greet. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member 🐾 Managing my own work and school schedule gives me complete flexibility to adapt to you and your pup’s needs! Whether that be mid-day drop-ins, flexible walk times, or even occasional overnight care. In your home, I prioritize safety, routines, and cleanliness. Whether house sitting, dog sitting, or a quick drop-in, I’ll make sure to follow routines (e.g., feeding schedules, medication needs, and favorite walk routes to ensure your pup feels safe and comfortable), to respect your space (e.g., making sure doors and gates are securely locked, keeping keys safe, and ensuring your privacy every step of the way), and keeping things neat (e.g., clean up after feeding time, handle potty duty right away, and make sure you come home to a space just as clean and cozy as you left it).

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northridge
Annabella was amazing caring for our little senior dog in our home while we were away. Our dog needs medication and prescription food from the freezer so not the most easy client but Annabella managed it all perfectly. She even took our cans to the curb and kept or kitchen orchid perfectly watered!
Andrew was amazing! He helped me out last minute, and I was so thankful he was available. He took great care of my dog, kept me updated, and made everything so easy. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I’d definitely book with Andrew again. Thanks so much!
Emily is fantastic! She completed her drop ins at the time scheduled and sent lots of pictures. You could tell my cats were super happy with having her there. Even my super scaredy-cat warmed up to her while I was away my schedule is just all over the place and she was so accommodating to last-minute changes as well which I really appreciate.

We have an older pup and were concerned about leaving him in the care of strangers. Alexis and Melisa exceeded expectations and not only followed our instructions (re: his medications, etc,) to a T but gave our dog lots of love. Would definitely work with them again.

Halle provided 3x a day drop in visits over four days. She was always on time and stayed with Luka for at least the the amount of time requested. Halle did everything asked of her and bonded nicely with Luka. So much so, that I'm sure Luka was hoping that it was Halle at the door instead of us. I would gladly have Halle watch Luka again.

This was my first time using Rover and she made it the best experience possible she went above and beyond and communication she was on time she sent pictures. She had cute commentary and honestly, our animals loved her. I can't wait for her to watch them again as she cared so much for my animals and I can't thank her enough for giving us the peace of mind while we were out of town

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Northridge stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
